RE: What's Up

Well city wise I get about 16 mpg in my sixer, but on the highway I always get close to 27 mpg. But hey, I'm willing to give up a little of that hwy mpg to gain city.

RE: What's Up

I planned on going to New England Dragway yesterday (100 miles away), but too much rain.
I am dying to try out my ET Streets there.

RE: What's Up

Yea, like 9 months ago after I first joined. Apearently you missed all of the post where I bashed my own car, and you must of really missed my post when I stated I was in the hunt for a Cobra, then when I find one the insurence company wanted some ridiculous amout of money on it, so that's when I started looking for 5.0s. To put it simply, V8s rule, the damn V6, while nice, sucks *** at performance, then only sixes I have any respect for now are the 4.0s, but with that high *** price tag, it's almost better just to pay the extra three to five grand and get the GT.
